A cost effective way to make your car look GREAT!

A Little Pizazz

For just pennies on the dollar

This kit will make your brake calipers stand out from other cars on the street around you. And it won't break the bank!

WORK IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE DEVICES (safety glasses, dust mask, and gloves). NEVER BLOW THE DUST FROM CALIPERS.

Clean the calipers (using the cleaner in the kit);
Put a catch container under the caliper, vacuum (recommended) to collect any debris;
Using a wire brush, scrape any rust or debris from the surface, allowing the debris to collect in the container, or vacuum it up;
Let air dry;
Cover the areas not being painted;
Paint the surface. This can be done while the caliper is in place (as seen here), or it can be disconnected. The method here saves time;

7. Let dry. Add additional coats as desired.

With a little patience, this is what your car will look like.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, or we can do the job for you. What a great gift for yourself or a loved one.

427 Cobra Replica Build - Just One More Facet We Do Here At Colletti Motorsports

We have been commissioned to build a replica of the car you see below. Follow this blog as we complete this amazing assignment!

Carroll-Shelby’s original 427SC Cobra was not an expensive machine in relation to its phenomenal performance….it originally sold for about $7900 in US Dollars. It had extraordinarily high power –to-weight ratio, and its nimble circuit handling attributes enabled it to blow into the weeds circuit far more exotic and expensive machines. There were two hundred and sixty 427 Cobra was last advertised for sale in Ford dealerships in August of 1968.

The build has to begin somewhere. This is where it all begins.

Inventory the parts prior to assembly. Many of the engine, drive train and fuel parts came first.

The the power house of this car. The motor.

And of course, the chassis.

Constructed of 2” x 4” rectangular steel, with suspension and mounting brackets welded into place. A&C’s certified welders, using custom fixture. It comes with coil-over shocks that are fully adjustable.

This is a 302 cubic inch Ford Racing V8 (Cleveland Crate Factory Motor). It's rated at 340 HP.

Tremec 5-speed manual transmission.

Installing the Clutch assembly.

Now this is what it's all about folks!!

The motor and transmission was installed today. Careful measurements were made to locate and install the two motor and one transmission mount.

She runs! We started her up yesterday, and she purrrrs. A video will be added soon.

The video clip wouldn't upload, so please be patient. In the meantime, here's the latest with Powermaster Alternator,Elderbrook Carborator.

There aren't many other things we can do until we get the body that includes the
firewall.

We have the body in now!

The mounting of the body onto the chassis went better than we originally thought. We had to find mounting points to affix the body to the frame. Then came the fun part. Wiring, and finish work.

Then the dash was put together.

It has been a long time coming, but take a look at this:

She left is purring like a tiger!!

Thank you for the opportunity.

A Gloomy Saturday

Days like today are usually meant for staying inside, but I challenge you to use a day like today to shop for that car you've been looking for. What a better way to see if all the 'Bells and Whistles' are working properly. Come by and test drive one or more of our pre-owned cars. See for yourself how well these cars handle in the rain.
